07/02/2019 - Growth in real household income per capita, which provides a better picture of changes in households’ economic well-being than real GDP growth per capita, slowed to 0.1 % in the OECD area in the third quarter of 2018, compared with 0.2% in the second quarter of 2018.  While real GDP per capita growth slowed more significantly (to 0.3% from 0.6% in the second quarter of 2018), it continued to outpace growth in real household income per capita.
